"Divinity of Soul" is nothing but a concept of "Shirk"....

"Shirk" means "Association of partner with Almighty Allah" which is described as the highest sin in Islam. The concept on which the Hindu Philosophy stands, is "Divinity of Soul". According to Hindu Philosophy, God is the 'Supreme Soul' and from His own part, souls come and enter the demageable bodies. And so, we are actually "soul", not "body". And as the 'Supreme Soul' is God & God is eternal, so souls are also immortal (as the souls are the parts of God or 'Supreme Soul'). . Bhagabat Gita says, "Know that which pervades the entire body is indestructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable soul." (Bhagabat Gita 2:17) . . From here, there starts the comparison of God with the Creation. Islam declares such thing as "Shirk" and describes it as the highest sin and the ultimate way of misguidance. . If the soul is the part of God, then He will not be the Creator at all, b...

Discussion on "Free will"

Two friends suddenly meet on the road and start their conversation. . 1st friend: Hey buddy, what's up bro? . 2nd friend: Yeah fine! What about you dude? . 1st friend: Same here.

I am talking about the slavery of our inside existence! . 2nd friend: What do you mean actually? . 1st friend: I am trying to say, people who think that they are free, are not actually free. They are the slaves of something, because slavery is our nature by birth. . 2nd friend: What do you want to say? Make it clear please! . 1st friend: Okay, I am trying to help you for understanding. . 2nd friend: Okay. . 1st friend: Most of the people are t...

ISLAM vs HUMANISM.....

Humanism is actually a philosophical and ethical stance. Wikipedia says, "Humanism is a **philosophical and ethical stance** that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and affirms their ability to improve their lives through the use of reason and ingenuity as opposed to submitting blindly to tradition and authority or sinking into cruelty and brutality." . Source- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism . So, here it is only a philosophical and ethical way. . When we take humanism as our religion, then it will become the standard for our way of life. . Now once humanism becomes our standard, then whom we will follow actually? I mean to say, "if we say that I am a human being first, so I want to show humanism", then surely there has to be some rules to follow this humanism. . For example, if we say, "do not torture any innocent human being", then you may call it humanism. But yet when you have taken t...
